The paintings and drawings of Israeli artist Avner Ben-Gal, born in 1966, depict barren landscapes with burning houses and isolated figures. The dreamlike scenarios literally elude the viewer, obscured as they often are under monochromatic veils of color. This first monograph collects recent work alongside contributions by Philipp Kaiser and Yael Bergstein.
